Harvey Weinstein Facts

His production company Miramax is named after his mother, Miriam, and his father, Max.

Harvey suffered a heart attack in August 2000.

He is a member and a long time supporter of the Democratic Party and has also financially supported candidates like Hillary Clinton and also campaigned for Barack Obama and John Kerry.

In October 2017, according to The New York Times and The New Yorker reports, American producer Harvey Weinstein has been accused by dozens of women of rape, s*xual assault, and s*xual abuse over a period of at least 30 years.

On March 2, 2012, he was granted the French Legion of Honor for his services and commitments to the film industry. However, on October 15, 2017, President Emmanuel Macron declared his intention to rescind the award as his s*xual misconduct allegations rose drastically.

Weinstein was rated as one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World” in 2012.

On April 19, 2004, he was nominated as honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to the British film industry. As he is not a citizen of a commonwealth country, the award was considered honorary.

In October 2017, due to the hike in s*xual harassment allegations against him, steps were taken to revoke the honor he was given by the British empire.

In October 2017, Harvey was fired from his own company called The Weinstein Company due to several allegations of s*xual harassment cases against women that came in light in The New York Times.

He is one of the board members of Robin Hood Foundation, a New York City-based non-profit organization that targets poverty.

More than 80 women in the film industry have accused Weinstein of s*xual misconducts. But, he denied all the allegations and shortly after, he was expelled from The Weinstein Company (now known as Lantern Entertainment), was removed from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and many other professional associations. He also vanished from the public view.

On May 25, 2018, Weinstein was arrested by the NYPD and was charged with rape, committing a criminal s*x act, s*xual abuse, and s*xual misconduct, but later he was released on bail.

Harvey paid $1 million in cash to get his bail, submitted his passport, and was also issued an ankle monitor.
